So I normally dont gush on about Digit, cuz I can do that for hours and Im worried about this turning into a 'mommy blog'...but Im going to today.
Yesterday we went to a local pet store to be ambassadors for our Greyhound Organization, SAGA. It was fun for him cuz it involved Digit's fave hobby: having people pet him and talk to him and bring him treats. He also got to butt sniff a few dogs which i assume he enjoyed. He behaved pretty well and only got a little snarky when I spent too much time playing with the other greyhound, Cruzor.
So SAGA is bringing to Calgary 14 greyhounds from Florida...5 have been slotted for adoption already, which is good because if we dont take them, they will absolutely be put to sleep. Pretty sad shit. In Florida currently there are no places for non racing greyhounds, so they move or die. There are also 52 in Texas that we are trying to bring up, albeit its not as urgent. So if you live in Calgary or Edmonton or in a semi close radius...and think you'd like a big non energetic suck to follow you around making love eyes...well, you know. Greyhounds rule and dont deserve to be put to sleep just because they cant race anymore. [Im not going to climb on my soapbox anymore]
As for me, Ive realised that despite my 5x a week gym efforts, i need more help if im going to drop some poundage and cease being squishy. I have hired a personal trainer. She, luckily, isnt one of those perky hyper pro exercise people or Id prolly knocked her block off during the first meeting.

i so want to adopt a dog, however i live in an apt. and that just would not be fair to the dog
Is it that there aren't any Greyhound rescue groups in Florida? Or any dog rescue groups in general down there? That sounds crazy to me...
The problem with Florida is there are too many racetracks and not enough rescue groups...so it comes down to people up in Canada needing to bring them up. My group goes to Florida because in other states there are more rescue groups that are local. Digi actually came from a track in Wisconsin that was closing and needed to get rid of all their dogs fast.
